Baking Instructions

- Beat in egg and golden syrup.
- Gradually add flour mixture until incorporated.
- Stir in oats and toffee bits.
- Allow the cookie dough to rest for 10 minutes so that the oats will absorb some moisture.

Notes
The type of oat used is important to achieve the chewy, nut-like texture. For variety, substitute toffee bits with dark chocolate chips or golden raisins.
